In a town where Dunkin reigns it was so awesome to come home for a visit and find this place. My latte was delicious and loved trying the Columbian cheese bread. Plus being able to pick up a bag of beans to take home is always a treat and a bonus of a great coffee shop. Will for sure be back on my next visit.

Very beautiful and comfortable coffee shop. From the minute you walk in the door the environment and vibe is amazing. The owners and staff are amazing. Family owned coffee very pure and tastes like real fresh coffee. Their coffee is cultivated back at their home in Columbia by their family. Check it out you won’t be disappointed.

I think this might have been the best Cappuccino I have ever had. My top priority is always how the coffee is and there are so many other fantastic aspects of this cafe. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. The employees are incredibly kind and quick. I sat at the back patio overlooking a small river. It was such a wonderful way to start my Friday. Plus I learned that the coffee beans are right from their family-owned farm in Colombia. I cannot wait to go back!

This place is simply amazing. Really great people. The coffee is as legit as it gets. The food (waffles)is really good. The pandebono is amazing. Parking is annoying at times but it is what it is, stuff like that will never reflect on the stars. The cafe is legit the food is good. The people are great. Check the place out.

Found this place randomly today. Such a treasure. Ordered salted caramel cold brew, a sausage egg and cheese croissant, and macaroons. Everything was delicious. The service was so fast, and nice. Everything was impeccably clean, everyone was friendly and great atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough. Definitely coming back a lot in the future.

I'm not an avid coffee drinker, but I do like a good iced coffee every now and then. We just moved to Bristol from Texas, and this place came highly recommend, so I'm going to pay it forward via this review. I asked for iced coffee recommendations and the owner showed me the top three picks of their customer's. I landed on the sea salt caramel and he offered to make his custom version with white chocolate and oat milk. This. Is. Delicious! The coffee is hand picked from his family's farms in Columbia. No hate towards the chain coffee places in town, but why go there when Café Real is local?

💎 What a Gem 💎 Excellent atmosphere with friendly service. They really nailed the upscale feel but home kitchen vibe!! Coffee from Columbia, roasted in CT! What really made my day, is a GF option for pastry called, pandebono. Made with cassava flour, it is naturally GF. The name of the pastry says it all (good bread) ***Make sure to ask for the pandebono de guava ***

First time & can’t wait to come back!! This was an experience. The gentleman was so friendly, gave the story of the beans, etc., which was very informative. Our drinks were perfect & the food was impeccable. As you can see, our churro waffles look like a pic from Bon Appetite magazine!! The young woman who made them & brought them to us was also very friendly! A hidden gem in downtown Bristol. Go & get happy!!

12.2.23 I was helped by the nicest man during my 1st time visiting this cafe. My Americano coffee was perfect, and since I love trying new things, I bought 4 Pandebono, the traditional Colombian cheese bread. It was amazing. There was street parking and several tables for indoor seating. This was a perfect stop before my hike. Thank you for the great coffee, pastries, and customer service.

Great place, great staff, and of course, amazing coffee, waffles, and pastries! Been here a few times and plan to continue coming! I love that Bristol has such a great place! The owner is so passionate about coffee ☕. Also love the fact that it is right from the source, all the way from Columbia! If the weather is nice check out the back patio and listen to the river flowing! So relaxing!

What a great find! I’m new to Bristol. What an Upscale, classic coffee shop. The owners took time to tell me about their exceptional product & family farm. Listen, I DON’T drink coffee- never have. Really, I don’t. Never found it to taste like it smell. But THIS coffee- the ice coffee? Just WOW! It actually DOES tastes like it smells. No bitter aftertaste.Smooth, rich, robust flavor. This is my new ‘go to’ place for authentic coffee. This is how it’s supposed to taste. Don’t walk-RUN to this great small business!

This cafe is lovely! I've been three times while in town. I'd recommend a cup of coffee via V-60 and having it black. The beans and brew are delicious just as they are. As far as food goes, I've had the BEC and the Nutella waffle. The BEC was okay, nothing special. The Nutella waffle, on the other hand, was fantastic. The waffle's texture was great, and paired well with Nutella drizzle and the blueberries, strawberries, and banana. As far as whole bean coffee goes, I'd recommend the light roast beans. It's what they brew when you get the V-60 or Chemex (I think) and I believe it's much better than the medium roast. I've bought both the light and medium roast - the light is simply better for my palate. I first bought a bag of medium, but the beans were oily like a dark roast. The medium did not taste like a dark though; it's a fine option if you're not into light roasts like me. There are no smaller sizes than 1lb bags of whole beans, but that's okay. This isn't exactly a specialty roaster. The staff is kind and talented. Definitely come check out this cafe!

The coffee here is amazing and the juices are so fresh. It’s like fresh fruit slushees. I do want to be honest though, the cafe isn’t welcoming to the Spanish community. I feel as though it is more inviting to the American community. The cafe is suppose to be Colombian and they do well in using the coffee in representing the country, but not the food or the environment. It’s more like a local Starbucks then a Colombian coffee shop. The pastries were good, but they weren’t great, and they were pretty expensive for a semi warm cracker sized pandebono. They also don’t have a lot of variety in pastries or food, and if they do, by 10- they’re out. I loved the service, and the place was very clean, especially the bathroom which is a plus.

Delicious single origin coffee. The barista is extremely knowledgeable and will share with you the owners’ story. Light to dark roast. Low acid. The dark roast is supposed to make you less jittery than others

Lovely establishment, perfect for a hangover, or breakfast with ur family. Love the waffle, very sweet. Coffee very very authentic, and strong. So, there's gonna be another spot opening soon?

A Little Coffee Gem in Bristol, CT. Welcoming and Inviting Energy every time I walk in! A wonderful place to enjoy a truly delicious cup of coffee. For me, What sets them apart from other coffee shops was the wonderful conversation with the Owner, Eduardo I had today about the details of their Coffee Bean and the Many Delicious ways to Enjoy your cup of “Daily Delight!” ☕️ ♥️ A MUST place to visit! Such a cozy, warm environment to experience with yourself, a friend or loved one. 5 Stars for Me!! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️☕️

This is Bristol's Best Coffee Shop in my opinion. This coffee shop has been a problem because it set the taste standard for me. And now because of this, all the other coffee shops taste like medicine. Great coffee, great people, great local atmosphere, and it's a very homey vibe. The pandebono is fresh floury, and butter. Get the Guava and the Cheese so you get a taste of both. Support Small Businesses! Starbucks is not all that anymore.
